I am at wits end, any ideas would be appreciated!

Heres my specs.. All links are clickable!

Processor: Core 2 Duo E6300
Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC ATX 430W Power Supply 115/ 230 V
Motherboard: Intel DP965LT
Case: COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW

At first I thought the PSU needed replacement of which I replaced a Rosewill 500W with the current thermaltake.

I stripped my computer clean, and reseated the processor, replugged power supply plugs.

The computer keeps turning on when ever it wants to, I can manage to shut it down but after a while it turns on again, same with it being on and after a while it turns off when in windows. Any ideas? Thanks!
 
Make sure that the "wake on LAN" feature is turned off in the BIOS.

Have you tried clearing/resetting the CMOS?
 
Well there are lots of things to check out. I'd go with electrical first. If you've already replaced the PS and reseated your hardware, have you made sure your motherboard isn't making contact and grounding with the case? If you've modified your power options, resetting the BIOS as recommended above is definitely a good step to take.

Other than those, strip it down to the bare minimum, and add things back one by one.
 
Seems to be working now, I turned off that wake on lan and reset my cmos. Thanks again!
